Any changes to cash deposit rates for EuroChem and PhosAgro would take effect on the publication date of the final results of these reviews, currently due in December. If it continues to find zero rates for each company in its final results, Commerce will not assess AD duties for subject merchandise exported by Eurochem and PhosAgro with a time of entry between July 1, 2014, and June 30, 2015.

Commerce has ordered liquidation at "as entered" rates for subject merchandise entered July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015, that was exported by companies that are not under review (here).

(The period of review is 07/01/14 -- 06/30/15. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
